About The Record:
Be Yourself Tonight by Eurythmics, marked a bold shift for the duo toward a more soulful pop/rock sound blending Motown influences, R&B elements, real instruments like brass and guitar with their signature style, largely recorded in Paris with additional sessions in Detroit and Los Angeles. A unique highlight is the feminist anthem Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves, a powerful duet with Aretha Franklin that was originally considered for Tina Turner and featured members of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, while Stevie Wonder contributed a memorable harmonica solo to There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart). Fan-favorites and popular songs include the fiery opener Would I Lie to You? with its energetic guitar riff and Annie Lennox's powerhouse vocals, the uplifting There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart), the duet, and It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back). The album earned Grammy nominations for some tracks in R&B and Rock categories and showcased Dave Stewart's acclaimed production. It was a major commercial success, with hit singles Would I Lie to You? (No. 5 US), There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart) (No. 1 UK), Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves, and It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back).
